Chapter 295: Chapter 173: I am knowledgeable and reasonable, you are insightful_2

As soon as he took a step, all the guests suddenly stood up, as if ready to pounce and devour them if they dared make another move.

The two of them swallowed hard, their expressions turning uglier by the second. Finally making eye contact, they had no choice but to sit back down.

After they sat down, the guests naturally followed suit, but their gazes still fixed on them, as if waiting to feast should they make another inappropriate move.

"They can’t be thinking of eating Yu Niang, can they?" Heavenly Immortal, somewhat unsettled, voiced this thought in the player channel.

"What are you thinking about; how could they eat someone?" White Cloud was also startled, thinking it was highly unlikely, since that would be rather savage.

"You see their gazes; don’t they look like it?" Heavenly Immortal felt a bit uneasy too.

This was his first time encountering such a situation. Although he had seen many dark aspects in the past, they were mostly indirect. Now facing such a scene directly, it was natural to feel afraid.

Heavenly Immortal was neither a murderous psychopath nor a mercenary on the battlefield, just a somewhat accomplished player. Among the whole player community, he didn’t stand out much. He had mental fortitude, but it wasn’t possible to remain calm directly facing a scene of cannibalism.

"What should we do?" White Cloud became frightened as well; the greedy expressions of those people seemed likely to lead to something happening.

"If we can’t handle it, we should just forcibly quit later," Heavenly Immortal finally said, opting for the easiest relief from a potentially traumatic situation.

As for enduring through to the next cycle and starting over, they gave up on that idea. It was too difficult, not something they could resolve within this instance.

Heavenly Immortal suspected that Gu Shanhai had increased the difficulty of this instance. Generally, instance difficulty was calibrated to the players’ strengths and rankings, and the difficulty they were facing seemed too high for their standards.

Previous instances weren’t this diabolical and tough; only when top-tier players joined would the difficulty, which should have been just challenging for them, skyrocket to an impassable level.

Middle difficulty levels were expected to be challenging. If one wanted to play on easy mode, they should stick to beginner instances.

"Alright, we’ll just have to quit when the time comes," said White Cloud, having no other option.

Guests kept arriving, as if the entire village was showing up, yet the entire environment maintained an eerie silence. Heavenly Immortal looked outside; many guests sat motionless like wooden figures, all expressionless.

This scene made his scalp tingle, reminding him of the spine-chilling sensation he felt when playing instances with the company of Huang Enhaorang.

Since the other played supernatural, thrilling, and puzzle-solving instances, most of them were quite scary, often startling him, while Huang Enhaorang had grown used to it. Sometimes, when encountering ghosts, he wouldn’t just get scared but would fire away, playing quite unreservedly.

Players like this had developed similar habits—running away would only expose their backs, a vulnerability, but emptying their magazines could let the ghosts know they weren’t to be trifed with.

"Hey, the feast has begun, the feast has begun."

Abruptly, a voice rang out, easing the minds of Heavenly Immortal and White Cloud.

The person who arrived was Gu Shanhai.

Boom~

Then, a loud noise sounded, similar to a house collapsing.

Then they saw Gu Shanhai, riding a giant deer, crashing through the various courtyard walls of Luo Mansion as he made his entrance.

"Hi~ Hello there, I’ve missed you guys!" Gu Shanhai greeted them warmly as he approached.

The guests also gave him due regard, all standing up and looking greedily at Gu Shanhai.

Then... there was an awkward silence.

"Clapping, clapping? Just looking does no good," Gu Shanhai’s face darkened, seeming to find an opportunity to lose his temper.

This time, the guests were not giving face, which made Gu Shanhai lose face. Although he was not an ability user of the "Face Fruit," the lack of respect from the crowd really annoyed him.

"You try staring one more time, and I’ll dig out your eyeballs," Gu Shanhai gave them one more chance. As a player from the Evil Path with the title of a righteous warrior, he was still quite generous.

Unfortunately, the guests seemed to think Gu Shanhai was easy to bully, so they just kept staring blatantly, not even blinking.

"Alas, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiong San, Xiong Si, Xiong Wu, Xiong Liu, and Xiong Xiaoming, go dig out all their eyeballs," Gu Shanhai sighed, only able to start with tears in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw seven three-meter-tall bears, each with a waist as thick as a water tank.

As soon as they entered, the seven big bears began a savage, indiscriminate slaughter.

Gu Shanhai didn’t care, riding on Little White, he came over and sat down at the table with Heavenly Immortal Drunk and White Cloud Crush.

"I have a small question. Why is the last bear called Xiong Xiaoming and not Xiong Qi?" Heavenly Immortal Drunk asked curiously. Gu Shanhai was here, so the next steps were up to him.

"Oh, I just made it up on the spot. They don’t actually have names, and they wouldn’t respond to them anyway," Gu Shanhai said very straightforwardly.

"???" White Cloud Crush was completely baffled. Then why bother telling them all this?

Rip~

Before Heavenly Immortal Drunk could continue complaining, he saw the seven big bears being torn into pieces by the guests, a sight that was terrifying for the two of them, blood and flesh flying everywhere, the guests biting ferociously.

"Damn, your bears got eaten," Heavenly Immortal Drunk felt floored, thinking they were about to turn the tables, only for it to end in this grisly sight within minutes.

"I need to correct something; those weren’t bears!" Gu Shanhai said seriously.

Hearing this, Heavenly Immortal Drunk instantly understood, looking at the guests as they tore and devoured the seven bears, his stomach began to churn.

If they weren’t bears, they had to be people.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Heavenly Immortal Drunk suppressed his physical discomfort and hurriedly asked.

"Yeah, summon more elite creatures, they’ll be handy for fighting the boss later," Gu Shanhai admitted without hesitation.

"Do you mean Yu Niang?" White Cloud Crush was unaware of the real situation but seemed to have sensed something, not probing further but asking about what concerned her.

"You two have already dealt with Yu Niang, later why not just add her to your harem as your wife? The boss I’m talking about is Mr. Luo," Gu Shanhai noted how elaborate their play was.

Their favorability was likely maxed out. It takes comparisons to see things clearly, like Fan Shi’s selfish treachery and the Old Temple Priest’s malevolent schemes. Comparing it to this couple’s situation, if they couldn’t choose properly, wouldn’t that be absurd?

"By the way, where were you yesterday? Why couldn’t I contact you at all?" Heavenly Immortal Drunk asked.

Gu Shanhai sighed wistfully: "Last night I went to Hu Mountain Cave, used my righteous warrior reputation and my knowledgeable and reasonable approach to reform the infamous Hu Mountain Bandits, and also stopped by Yun Niang Temple to have a profound exchange with the Old Temple Priest."

"That reasonable and profound way of yours, are they legitimate?" Heavenly Immortal Drunk didn’t believe Gu Shanhai could actually employ such methods, and even if he was willing, neither the bandits nor the temple priest could be coerced.

"Quite legitimate. For knowledgeable and reasonable, I used physical means; as for profound exchange, I went deep—saw right into their hearts," Gu Shanhai thought about it and confirmed there weren’t really any huge mistakes.

White Cloud Crush, collaborating with Gu Shanhai for the first time, was exasperated. Killing is just killing; why put it so oddly?

On the other hand, Heavenly Immortal Drunk knew how fierce Gu Shanhai’s methods were, nowhere near as simple as they seemed. Looking again at the guests, who had devoured the seven bear-people and were now swelling, growing bear fur, and starting to bite and devour each other again, it was clear how ruthless Gu Shanhai’s actions were.

As the three were talking nonsense, they suddenly heard a shrill voice coming through.

"The auspicious hour is upon us; please welcome the newlyweds!"
